Gotta be better still.

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[LonLon Lei]

4th line, all star, first star!!!!

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

One more win!!

 

[DMB06]

If we stayed on them, especially after that 3rd goal, this would have been a 6-7 goal lead. Can we replace Cooper with Torts for game 6? One coach understands that playing safe is just asking for your season to end, the other clearly doesn't.

 

[DaBolts]

Yes, nice win but please Yzerman, make a deal this offseason for Johnson and Killorn.

Regardless of how this ends, Mr. Y will sell high. They are gone.

 

[Maelmoor]

Oh my..this is horrible for my nerves..we made it but we sat back way too much towards the end! *Tries to calm down*

Yeah we never seen an ending like that in 2004. lel

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

2nd time you've asked Cally that question about Vasy, Pierre, and you look just as foolish.

 

[Stormbreaker]

The Big Cat!

[DMB06]

It happens all the time to literally every team in the league. It's just human nature to sit back like this. Cooper could tell them whatever he wants and it would still look like that.

You don't do it against a team that has controlled the majority of the series. They scored yet another goal after pulling their goalie, do we need to see them do it again for Cooper to wake up?

 

[BoltsOfAnarchy]

win is nice, but plz no more sitting back like this!!!!

???
They’ve done this all year when they have a lead late. It won’t change until it actually costs them big time

 

[Hoek]

Not often your fourth line straight up wins a game for you. That's what we were missing in past runs.

 

[gg720fla]

Yes thank you Vasi because it was ugly the last 30 minutes of the game. How many shots did we have in that span?

 

[Bolt 45]

We won, doesn't matter what it looked like. I'll take five more just like that.

 

[Stormbreaker]

TB didn't have an attempt on goal for the final 11:07. Caps had the final twenty.

they scored, ya know?
and if it weren't for Vasi....!!

And I've seen them doing a lot better closing the game vs. Boston w/ a lead.
It's not like this was the only option we had, esp against a desperate team like Caps.

 

[Maelmoor]

Yes thank you Vasi because it was ugly the last 30 minutes of the game. How many shots did we have in that span?

Come on, stop moaning now. We just won game five, our third straight win and are just one win from the final. Let us enjoy it tonight and hope we can get a win in the next game, as I cannot handle a game seven!

 

[FinnLightning26]

These last two games have taken some years off from my life.

Sorry man, that is total BS. We have watched this team let other teams back into games all season long. You dance with the one that brung ya, and what brung us to where we are is a relentless, attacking O and forecheck. I won't go so far as to say TB wins despite Cooper, but they don't win because of him either. I could, any of us could, coach the talent on this team to 45 wins.

 

[Lightning1995]

Not good, doesn’t matter. Maybe the Jets and Caps can play for a bronze medal since they bothe win SOG.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

A trip back to the finals is becoming a reality. 2 games left to get 1 win.

 

[StaySalty]

The Big Cat!

That's amazing ? Wow!!! What a f***ing beast

 

[These Are The Days]

If I wasn't in such a good mood I'd be suggesting that we all take turns viciously curb stomping Gongshow's genitalia. The ruh roh has never been more necessary. Dude no showed harder than Stamkos.
